I remember the funniest gift my daughter ever asked for at Christmas time. We had been wandering through a department store and we came across a big display of dog beds. She was thrilled with them and she said she absolutely had to have one from Santa. I tried to get her four year old mind to understand that they were for dogs, but she did not want to hear it.

We went to see Santa later on that week and she still insisted that was what she wanted for Christmas. I was still not sure what she was going to do with it, but I decided to humor her anyway. I was laughing to myself as I took the dog bed through the checkout.

When she got up on Christmas morning and found the bed under the tree, she was more than thrilled. She took her new book and her new Barbie doll and went and curled up in the bed. The funniest thing about it, is that she has been using it for three years now and she still loves it.
